Hilltop Hoods - The Hard Road Restrung Lyrics
Going down the hard road, don't know where i've been...
[Verse 1 – Suffa]
Growing up I needed a guide like, a blind veteran's dog,
Cos I was going nowhere like a child's letters to god,
That I looked for an answer in a medicine box,
I never did pop pills, or cop deals, just rocked hills
Kids with skills, still got harassed by the cops till,
They'd have me in the back of a paddy, down to lock up,
Smack me, pat me down for a baggy, mums would rock up,
And bail me out, a failure out once again,
Next weekend, bail me out, drunk again,
And I never will forgive myself,
For putting you through all that hell,
I went from high school dropout to factory labourer,
To being out on tour, now no stopping me,
I'll finish with a bang like Kurt Cobains biography.
[Chorus]
Going down a hard road, down the hard road,
Don't know where I've been, and don't know where to go its like,
Going down a hard road, down the hard road,
Don't know where I've been.
[Verse 2 – Pressure]
I spent my youth like life was cheap,
The only change that I wanted was enough to buy a drink,
Was on a path to nowhere, the harder the road,
The more broken baggage we carry the larger the load,
This school drop-out got knocked out, chased by the cops out,
Got clout, dumped by my girlfriend and locked out,
Been broke and beaten, even chocked at being,
A dope mc but never lost hope in dreaming,
We used to thrash boosted cars till the engine would fail,
If I never had bailed maybe I'd be dead or in jail,
And man I got no one else to blame,
I thank my family and music for keeping me sane,
But that's the breaks right? Started working late nights,
Never seeing daylight, getting paid like a slave might,
And I've done too many years to miss this for my missus,
To have to tell my son he nearly never existed.
[Chorus]
Going down a hard road, down the hard road,
Don't know where I've been, and don't know where to go its like,
Going down a hard road, down the hard road,
Don't know where I've been, DJ Debris c'mon and break it down like,
[DJ Debris mixing]
[Verse 3 – Suffa]
And I speak what I feel in the booth in the spirit of truth,
Cos all these kids that I meet man they mirror my youth,
And I could have gone the wrong way, the easy option,
But I chose to go the long way, the streets are watching,
So keep a look out, look up, B-Ballers keep your hook up,
Pull a page from my book out, and pull out,
Your finger put your foot out and keep a lookout,
For what we put out, the brand new flavour for your cookout.
[Chorus]
Going down a hard road, down the hard road,
Don't know where I've been, and don't know where to go its like,
Going down a hard road, down the hard road,
Don't know where I've been…
(I'm walking round in circles, came here to find a friend
For my love)

Hilltop Hoods The Hard Road Restrung Comments
After all these years still best, change my mind
Sometimes it's hard to make or enhance an original better
The arrangement here is just stunning
Last time I got chills like this was with Furious Angels by Rob Dougan who was funnily enough an Aussie
Coincidence
I think not
fack ye head the 5000nd like
One of the greatest Track ever made; the restrung edit.
HAY.YA.MZC.REPUBLIIC.ZEALDRIIANCE.TYZU
Why hasn't anyone told me about this awesomeness?!
I honestly think this remix is better than the original
why has this got 2 minutes of nothing
If my bicycle were to go, I'd be driving this music long ago!
Ten challenge
Hilltop r legends of Ozzy music and culture
The memories ? these guys ARE the REAL DEAL. I never get tired of hearing them. H H you are the shit
2018 anyone?
B eye fayles mine viluonth spydee
this track is absolut fascinating... i love this beat... makes my heart beat faster...
Fuck yes this is really cool thank you for this upload!
Y'all should listen to the song that inspired it - Leon Russel's cover of Dylan's 'Hard Rain's Gonna Fall'. Kudos to HtH for having the class and creativity to use such amazing source material! They are deserving of so much respect - and all the fame and $ they could wish for - bringing so much joy to this new generation, while respecting and honouring mine and my older brother's :)!!
What a classic
The doors'''"
this track is gold
iam grateful for this
how dare i forget about this classic song........ it's like slap, slap !
2 minutes of nothing at the end... you idiot
I like the old version more!
Proper bangers
I have this album on vinyl, too bad some of the tracks sound slightly distorted..
Banff 2009
Many of the restrung HTH songs feature violin/viola, its cool
That's the whole "Restrung" part. It's the original The Hard Road album in collaboration with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra. Just thought I'd let you know :)
I didnt know that, thank you! @MrCrayfish
THIS album is a MASTERPIECE!!!! ❤❤
zodiac909 ikr

OMFG I FORGOT ABOUT THIS COMMENT YESSS ITS ON 1M
U.K. To aus fam........

Its okay , but the fuck happened to their voices ?! And Why are those 2 minutes of silence at the end ? Its such a good restrung but dude those 2 mins are such a pain in the ass m8 . Same for conversations from a speakeasy . Remove those 2 minutes somehow please .
whats with the ending where its just no sound. reupload and fix this plz
+ShyanTheLegend this was uploaded in 2009 you dolt
+TacticalBBQSauce Who gives a shit when it was uploaded?
This is the best remix ever
If I remember correct it wasn't a remix, they had actually re-recorded it with an orchestra.
2bad this is not in spotify :(
look up "The Hard Road Restrung". It's the top result.
aw damn, yeah im in aus
Doesn't work for me in Germany, seems like it's an Aussie thing ;-D
Import it as a local file from your pc and make it available offline then you can hear it anywhere, i do this with a few old gems
Fuck Spotify and it's corporate whoring.
that feeling when you find a blast from the past like this that you hadnt heard in so long you forgot it existed and now youve remembered and its a party in your ears
Amen to that! A song from my college years. Introduced to me by my best friend :-D
👍👍👌
There's a party in your arse and everyone's invited.
